Serious Explosion in a Newspaper Office.
FINDLAY, O.. Jan. Considerable ex-
citement was caused at 1890 this morning
by loud explosion, and it was found that
the engine in the press-room of the Jeffer-
sonian Office had exploded, causing great
wreck to the building and contents. A young
man named Charlie Brown was feeding
papers on press at the time, and A H.
Balsley, the proprietor, was in the room.
Brown was badly hurt in the breast and
about the face, but his injuries are not of a
dangerous character. The press-room is an
entire wreck, windows having been blown
out and walls torn loose. A form was pied
upstairs and havoc played generally. We
are unable to state where the blame lies.
The engine was an old one The damage
foots up over 81, 900, it is believed The paper
had just gone to press with a special adver-
tising edition

Green went before Justice Beasley at mid
night last night and took the oath Of office
as governor of New Jersey. He then went
to the state house, where Governor NJ. Alb

leading politicians were awaiting him. Gov
ernor Albeit extended him "a hearty welcome
and Aid; "Governor Green, turn over to
you the Office and all there is in il, and wish
you a pleasant term"
After few moments conversation, the
little conference was terminated. This un-
usual mode Of entering upon the duties of
the Office was adopted by Governor Green
on account of the unsettled state of affairs,
and the fact that there being no president of
the senate. Mr.. Baird, who was made speak

Advanclng Rates on Ban Iron,

of the Western Iron association win be held
in this city ON Wednesday next for the pur-
pose of advancing the card rate VI iron
As there will be full represent .ulon from
all over the country, and as many mauufac-
turers are opposed to any advance, the dis
cussion is expected to be very warm. The
proposal is 10 advance the rate, which now
stands ut cents pound, to 2.1O. The op-
ponents of the advance stand on the argu-
ment that any advance now will result in the
dumping Of large quantities of foreign iron
on the American market, while the advo-
Gates of the advance claim chat the advance
is justified by the advance in raw materials.

SAKE.

The death of John G. SAKE, which oc-
CURED last week, marked the removal of
an American poet whose merits as a
literary genius are not uniformly confessed.
While one class of scholars pronounce him
merely " a poetic jester" another find in
his verse the true ring of wit and the flow
of rare humor. SAKE was wit; this is
demonstrable that he was great writer,
or poet above the loftier plane will
never be eontended. His wit ran with
the present; it had little or no prescience
it led him only along pleasant ways, and
bv its excess of caution made him too
mindful of the sharp edge of criticism.
Beneath his graceful poetic pleasantries
there is in Saxe's writings q sentimental
vein as pure and sweet and gentle as ever
graced the page of any poet. BE was a
man with heart broad enough for all the
world, charity with ever open arms, and
love beyond measure for his fellows In
all the hundreds Of poems his versatile

for this necessary protection to the voter,
whose "bread and butter" may depend
upon the inviolability of such privacy.
Again, it is not clear how this scheme is
to prevent the bosses from operating as
they do now, and applying their methods
at the registration Office. The party ticket
would remain as it is, and the list printed
by the county would be industriously dis
posed of or contemptuously ignored. To
make his plan even half way effective, he
should provide against the issuance of any
party tickets at all.
The whole Observation-Disclosures
scheme appears to be unwieldy and I'M
practicable For instance, where there
are from 40 to so offices TO be filled and
from so to $50 candidates, the selection at
registration Of name for each Office would
tend to keep busy men away from the reg
istration desk, while the illiterate and ig-
norant. not to mention the scheming and
vicious, could make the registration room
torture chamber. Those training under
the bosses would be diligent in registering
early, and often" if permitted, while the
men of business would more than likely
largely neglect to register at all. But the
scheme has this good feature: it would
render it possible for the aspiring man
who is unwilling to submit himself to boss
methods to put his name before the people
Except IN municipal and educational
administration party is necessary, and re-
form must begin within it and should have
all such aid from the State as can be afford
ed. 1t must simplify rather thaninyolve the
means of making the viii of the people
known. The reform that is to be effective
in the end will be that which is backed
by so strong public sentiment that the
bosses and their following will be found in
the minority; and they will be, if the ''fair
play" men of party will assert themselves
When they do, the open caucus and fair
primary will give free expression IN nomi-
nation But until they do this, until they
rise equal to the bosses and superior to
their methods, we shall have no reform
worth the mention. Says Mr.. Richard II
Dana, there is no use in scolding electors
for the neglect of which political corrup-
ton is born. Perhaps not, but until the
neglectful cease to be such, political venal-
ity will flourish.
But, while we are of the opinion thai
Mr.. Fields plan is impracticable, his in
dictment of bossism is of highest value
Along with John Fisk, Theodore Roose
welt, Prof. Sumner, R. II. Dana, Prof Alex.
Mitchell, Prof. H. c. Adams, Geo. VIM
Curtis, James Parton, and score of other
eminent thinkers upon the subject, he ha:
enlisted in crusade that must be crowned
with victory. They differ as to methods
but they reflect the better sentiment of the
day-that the bosses must go, and the
theory of our government that the voice
of the people is the law of the land, be re-
allied in practice.

practice it always has, for reward very |
greatly less than it receives at the bar. |
We are making constitutional law not for |
the present or the incumbents of the Su- !
preme bench, but for all time; for system
that is to endure. We are endeayoring to
profit by experience, and that lamp lights !
our way to the new amendments unmis-
takably.
The Supreme Court is years behind in
its business. 1t must have the aid of the
Commission to put it upon its feet
again, and it must be given power
to clear itself at any time of
members no longer equal to the dis
charge of duty. Upon this bench de-
ponds, in large measure, the stability of
the Government, the quietude of titles,
the right and speedy settlement of business
issues, the enforcement of the criminal
law, the Interpretation of legislative en-
actments, and the check upon legislative
abuses. We cannot afford, therefore, to
belittle this arm of the Government, or
practice false economy concerning it.
The amendments also propose an in
crease of salaries of several of the Superior
Judges, and the same reasons apply in
that as in the case of the Supreme bench.
The Superior bench has fallen from the
high estate of the old District Courts, and
it is time we took steps to invest it with
something of the value and Importance of
its predecessor. The best legal minds
should be called to this lesser branch of
the judicial system, but meager salaries
will not do it. The Court should at least,
in reward for its ability, be put upon the
plane of an average lawyer of ordinary in
come from the practice Of his profession
The wise policy for State always is to
pay well and have the best. There is no
economy in understanding any member of
the judiciary. The wise policy, the dis
Greet policy, the policy that pays best, is
that which rewards literally for thorough
capacity.
Concerning appointments to the bench
fo- unexpired terms, that would unques-
tionably be an advance step. Good lawyers
are rare who for a few months term of
laborious duty will sacrifice a practice that
may have cost them the best years of their
lives to obtain. The law is a jealous mis-
tress, and once deserted will not readily
return to its old love- The lawyer who
once gives up his business seldom if ever
wholly regains it.
The third amendment is provision to
give cities power to make their own char
tiers. 1t is an effort to attain that desirable
end-nearness of government to the peo-
Pile. 1t proposes to release cities from leg
islative and lobby interference with do
nestle concerns, and to give to the people
of municipalities the privilege Of legislat-
ing for the corporations in all matters as
local need and economy That thisamend
ment will meet with any objection what
ever from sensible people is not at all
probable. If the amendments are defeated
it will be due to the neglect of the people
who ought to vote for them, and the mar
row ideas of public duty, official reward
and State economy, entertained by those
who are likely to vote against them.

that the bill goes beyond that jurisdiction
In regulating and practically prohibiting
in many cases movements that are not
commercial For instance, the removal
of citizen from one State to another is
not commercial, nor the carriage of his
household goods to his new home "com-
merce." So, too, travel by an immigrant
can scarcely be said to be commerce.
Moreover, the question very seriously
presents itself whether the true construc-
ton of the Constitution does not limit the
power of Congress to the supervision OF
the States to the end that they shall not
erect barriers to commerce between the
citizens of the States.

brain evolved, there is breathed no harsh
ness his fine humor sent sharp shafts
from his well-strung bow, but they did not
strike deeply, and there was no long after
sting. 1t is said of him that heabsorbed
Hood, appropriated him outright, and
got rich from the rapid sales of
his wooden nutmeg limitations of
Hoods work "a cruel and unwarranted
criticism. He lacked the trenchant wit
of Hood, his method was wholly dissimi-
lar from Hoods, and, unlike him, he laid
on no mailed hand. He had not the refined
sentiment that characterizes Dr. Holmes,
nor did he philosophize as does Low
ell. He never was profound his writings
do not stir the blood or fire the soul; but
that he was an imitator, we think too Sc
we're judgment. He certainly wrote of
the pleasant ways of life; he addressed
himself less to the understanding than to
the heart; he amused rather than enter

rightly; he philosophical rarely, but his
utterances were invariably those of pu-
rity; he was original, but his originality
was not of the order to command profound
obeisance by genius; he certainly is en-
titled to rank among representative Amer
lean wits; his Money King" alone enti-
ties him to place in the ranks; his minor
poems have rung pleasant changes in
thousands of hearts, and his gentle humor
has chased many tears away. When it is
said of him, as does one of our contempo-
raries, that {" his was the limping wit of
the professional funny man." and that be-
cause he could not make people weep, he
was therefore a clown, there is uttered a
criticism of the dyspeptic order.
